Mastopexy implants for breast lifts create new tissue planes in the breast that provide a more durable lift, and are particularly useful in breast lifts with a high content of fatty tissue; the implants can be implanted through small incisions using blunt dissection, reducing operating time, and providing a better aesthetic appearance with minimal scarring; the implants are designed to be temporary, and have sufficient retention strength to allow the new tissue planes to form and support the lifted breast without any significant loss of support during this regenerative period.

Mastopexy implants for lifting the breast of a patient create new tissue planes in the breast that provide a more durable lift, and are particularly useful in lifting breasts with a high content of fatty tissue. The implants can be implanted through stab incisions using blunt dissection, and reduce operating time, and provide an improved aesthetic appearance with minimal scar formation. The implants are designed to be transitory, and have sufficient strength retention to allow the new tissue planes to form and support the lifted breast without any significant loss of support during this regenerative period.

The invention relates to an implant assembled from skeleton polyhedral unit cells, coiled unit cells or mesh unit cells. The resorbable implants may be used to create volumes and shapes with regenerated tissue in soft tissue. The implant includes a grid formed from a plurality of unit cells. The unit cells may be coils or springs, skeleton polyhedrons, foams, or structures from webs and fibers. The implants may be coated or filled with cells and tissues, and preferably coated or filled with autologous fat grafts. The implants are particularly suitable for plastic surgical procedures, for example, regenerating or enlarging breast tissue after breast resection or in breast fixation procedures, and may provide an alternative to the use of permanent breast implants in these procedures.
